I want users to use USB pen drives but don't want these users to have
administrator rights over the machine. I'm using Windows 2000/
Novell.

Plugging in the pen drives is no problem - they are recognised ok and
the drive appears in Windows Explorer.

The problem is that when trying to open the usb icon in the taskbar
(the
little green arrow icon), as you are supposed to in order to safely
remove the device, windows displays a message saying
"Restrictions - This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions
in effect on this computer...". So users are unable to stop the
device.
How can get users to be able to disconect their pen drives properly?
